Yamada Takayuki's new film "I'm a Loser" special promotional video will be released on April 2

The new comic-adapted movie "I'm Useless Anyway", which brings together many big-name stars and is co-directed by Naoto Takenaka, Takayuki Yamada, and Takumi Saito, released a special promotional video today. The three directors talked about the behind-the-scenes of the film's creation. The film is scheduled to be officially released on April 2, 2021, so stay tuned.

"Anyway, I'm Useless" is an alternative work by Japanese eccentric cartoonist Hiroyuki Ohashi, telling the weird stories of several protagonists. A middle-aged weirdo suddenly wants to go west with a sleeping bag and pornographic books he found; the only friend of a high school otaku is a teenager who wants to die; a useless father and his son raided a high school campus at night to steal sandbags, but they encountered a ghost?

There is also a lonely young man working in a DVD rental store. The ordinary and trivial, but still soulful little stories, seemingly careless, are seamlessly formed into colorful and intimate chapters like a patchwork. The Japanese dry humor is refined in the daily life of the common people, and the indescribable stroke of genius makes people smile uncontrollably.

·The film will be directed by three heavyweight filmmakers Naoto Takenaka, Takayuki Yamada, and Takumi Saito, striving to extract the original spirit of the original work. The film was shot in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, the hometown of the cartoonist, with full support from the government and the public! It will string together several short stories, and stars such as Riho Yoshioka, Ryuhei Matsuda, Shinnosuke Mitsushima, and Hayabusa Kunimura have already been confirmed to join.
